Chelsea
are ready to take a £16million loss on John Mikel Obi’s
transfer.
The Blues have reached an out-of-court settlement with Norwegian
side Lyn Oslo of £100,000 over the money they paid out for the
Nigeria midfielder in 2006.
The original £16m transfer had seen Lyn receive £4m while
Manchester
United were paid £12m for waiving their option to sign
the player. But Chelsea then discovered Mikel was fraudulently
registered.
Chelsea are unlikely to turn their attention to United but will
pursue Lyn’s former chief executive Morgan Andersen, who was handed
a one-year suspended prison sentence for forging the documents.
